Oregon v. Elstadgreen2 sentences1997We hold today that a suspect who has once responded to unwarned yet uneoercive questioning is not thereby disabled from waiving his rights and confessing after he has been given the requisite Miranda warnings. 470 U.S. 298, 318 , 105 S.Ct. 1285, 1298 , 84 L.Ed.2d 222 (1985). 1986In Oregon v. Elstad, _U.S. _, 105 S.Ct. 1285, 1298 (1985), the United States Supreme Court held that “a suspect who has once responded to unwarned yet uncoercive questioning is not thereby disabled from waiving his rights and confessing after he has been given the requisite Miranda warnings.” While the use of the unwarned statement will be barred in the case in chief, no further purpose is served by imputing “taint” to subsequent statements obtained pursuant to a voluntary and knowing waiver. | 1 | 3 |
Commonwealth v. Gumpertgreen1 sentence2026See Commonwealth v. Mumford, 353 A.3d 247 , 260–261 (Pa. Super. 2026) (where the defense failed to object to lack of colloquy to establish a voluntary and knowing waiver of the right to testify, then issue not preserved for appellate review); Commonwealth v. Gumpert, 512 A.2d 699, 703 (Pa. Super. 1986) (concluding that challenge to the trial court’s failure to conduct a jury waiver colloquy was not preserved for appellate review, because the appellant did not raise the issue before the trial court). | 1 | 1 |
Commonwealth v. Mallorygreen1 sentence2026Although a jury trial waiver colloquy “shall appear on the record,” see Pa.R.Crim.P. 620, the lack of doing so, “does not prove, in an absolute sense, that a defendant failed to understand the right he waived by proceeding non-jury.” Commonwealth v. Mallory, 941 A.2d 686, 697 (Pa. 2008). | 1 | 1 |
